Annotation | In 2002, the over 50s comprised a fifth of the UK's internet surfers, rising to a quarter in 2006. This "mature market" has thus bucked the stereotypical "technophobe" image and emerged as a powerful sector of the UK's internet population. The online presence and power of the over 50s is an area of special interest to the West Yorkshire-based agency Millennium, the first direct communications group specialising in the mature market. In this article, the agency's Managing Director explains why companies ignore "silver surfers" at their peril. (RH). |
